Abstract:
Shift work is a work schedule being the opposite of normal daytime work, often defined as working time outside normal daytime hours (06:00 to 18:00). In recent years, shift work has been associated with an increased risk of numerous chronic conditions including for example cardiovascular disease, some types of cancer, type II diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. While some studies on the association between shift work and chronic disease have found results supporting it, others have not. Therefore, more research is needed to clarify potential associations.The aim of this thesis was to further

Abstract:
Shift work and work-related stress is a rising concern among the workforce population because of the potential link to cardiovascular disease (CVD). While these exposures are common in emergency services, there are few studies examining if these factors increase CVD risk among paramedics. The aim of this dissertation is to address this research gap. The first study examined neuroendocrine activity related to shift work and job strain.

Abstract:
Coronary Heart Disease (CETO) is one of the most common causes of mortality in industrialised societies, and it has been demonstrated elsewhere that shift workers have an increased risk of developing CHD compared to day-workers. One possible explanation for this increased risk is that a shift worker may show inappropriate postprandial responses to a night-time meal, when their biological clock is not adapted to the night shift. This could lead to an elevation in the circulating levels of certain hormones and metabolites, such as triacylglycerol (TAG) and insulin, which are known to be risk fac

Approximately 3.6 million individuals in the UK are involved in a type of shift-work which impinges on the normal nocturnal sleeping period. This prevalence has significance considering that shift-work is a risk factor for many health problems including cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, metabolic syndrome, obesity and gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., constipation). These health inequalities are generally under-researched. Past studies have also focused on chrono-biological related reasons (e.g., exposure to light at night) rather than lifestyle factors.

Firefighters experience stressful job demands. Many of them work in shifts that can extend to 96-hour rotations. Firefighters also tend to suffer from poor sleep quality and psychological distress; however, there are conflicting findings on how these factors may relate to each other. The purpose of this quantitative survey study was to examine the relation between symptoms of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and alcohol abuse to shift duration in firefighters who work 24-hour shifts compared to those who work 48-hour shifts, with sleep quality as a mediating variable.

It provides evidence that teachers' work is shaped by forces operating outside their control and mediated by the policy discourses and subjectivities available to them.
